EMIRATES STADIUM Going to the Match - Arsenal FC
The Emirates Stadium (known as Arsenal Stadium for UEFA competitions) is a football stadium in Holloway, London, England. It has been the home stadium of Arsenal Football Club since its completion in 2006. It has a current seated capacity of 60, 704, making it the fifth-largest football stadium in England by capacity.
In 1997, Arsenal explored the possibility of relocating to a new stadium, having been denied planning permission by Islington Council to expand its home stadium, Highbury. After considering various options (including purchasing Wembley Stadium), the club bought an industrial and waste disposal estate in Ashburton Grove in 2000. A year later, they received the council's approval to build a stadium on the site; manager Arsène Wenger described this as the "biggest decision in Arsenal's history" since the board appointed Herbert Chapman in the 1920s.[5] Relocation plans began in 2002, but financial difficulties delayed work until 2004. Emirates was later announced as the main sponsor for the stadium. The entire stadium project was completed in 2006 at a cost of £390 million. The club's former stadium was redeveloped as Highbury Square, an apartment complex.[6]
The stadium has undergone a process of "Arsenalisation" since 2009 with the aim of restoring visible links to Arsenal's history. The stadium has hosted international football fixtures and music concerts

EMIRATES STADIUM Going to the Match - Arsenal FC - A Captivating Tribute to Football History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This stunning print captures the iconic Emirates Stadium, home of Arsenal Football Club, in all its grandeur. Nestled in Holloway, London, this magnificent stadium has been a symbol of football excellence since its completion in 2006. With a seating capacity of 60,704 spectators, it proudly stands as the fifth-largest football stadium in England. The journey towards building this remarkable arena was not without challenges. After being denied permission to expand their previous home at Highbury by Islington Council, Arsenal explored various options before settling on an industrial estate in Ashburton Grove. The approval from the council marked a pivotal moment for the club and manager Arsène Wenger hailed it as one of their most significant decisions. Years of planning and financial obstacles finally culminated in 2006 when Emirates became the proud sponsor of this architectural marvel. The £390 million project transformed not only the landscape but also breathed new life into Arsenal's rich history. Since then, Emirates Stadium has become more than just a venue for football matches; it has evolved into an immersive experience that pays homage to Arsenal's legacy. Through a process known as "Arsenalisation" visible links to the club's storied past have been meticulously restored. Beyond hosting thrilling international fixtures and electrifying music concerts, this photograph immortalizes a place where dreams are realized and passions ignited – truly capturing the essence of what makes sports stadia like Emirates Stadium so special.
